Acquisition financial due diligence

Through our financial due diligence, we help companies understanding an organisation’s historical financial performance, its on and off balance sheet assets and liabilities, and the key assumptions underpinning its projected performance is crucial to assessing the viability of a transaction and will ultimately influence the price you are willing to pay.

We also assist our clients during the purchase price adjustment phase through our procedures on the closing date balance sheet.

Vendor Assistance

We assist the vendor throughout the sale process with support to carve out accounting and financial data of the business considered for sale, assistance to set up the data room and develop a financial model to ensure the best price is obtained. Our advices aim also at reducing the business disruptions and accelerating the transfer to new owners.
